The Department of Recreation 

History and Field 

The Department of Recreation grew out of an undertaking 
entered into by the Russell Sage Foundation in 1907, under the 
name of the Playground Extension Committee, to further the 
establishment of children's playgrounds and to give temporary 
aid to a national association then being organized to carry for- 
ward the playground work. 

In 1909 the Playground Extension Committee and the Back- 
ward Children Investigation, also entered into by the Russell 
Sage Foundation in 1907, were combined to form the Depart- 
ment of Child Hygiene. This Department had to do with 
matters pertaining to health, education, and recreation. 

As the work progressed, the activities relating to recreation 
were delegated to a branch of the Department called the Division 
of Recreation, and those pertaining to education were adminis- 
tered by another branch called the Division of Education. 

The national association. The Playground Association of 
America, which was temporarily assisted in 1907, soon developed 
into a strong, efficient organization for the promotion and im- 
provement of children's playgrounds. As rapidly as it has been 
able to secure the necessary funds it has extended its activities 
to other forms of recreation than children's playgrounds; whole- 
some recreation for the entire family being the ultimate end to 
be attained. 

The Division of Recreation therefore devoted its energies to 
research, publication, and special recreational problems not 
covered by the Playground Association of America. It has 
also co-operated with the Association in holding recreation 
institutes, preparing material for publication, finding competent 
workers for recreation positions, and in other ways, but not by 
the contribution of funds. 

In 1 91 3 the Division of Recreation became a separate depart- 
ment of the Russell Sage Foundation.

Principles of Action 

The principles that have guided the Department in its various 
activities are : 

1 . Research. To provide a sound basis for action it is necessary 
to make a thorough, impartial search into the conditions under- 
lying each proposed activity, and to obtain a clear understanding 
of their mutual relations to other social tasks. 

2. Securing community action. This involves bringing the 
facts to the attention of those who are responsible for action, 
stimulating the adoption of various forms of social betterment 
especially related to recreation, and suggesting methods of pro- 
cedure.

How Lantern Slides are Loaned 

The Department of Recreation is glad to assist local undertak- 
ings by loaning lantern slides for use at meetings or exhibitions. 
The slides mentioned in the list have been made in duplicate 
for this purpose. Each slide contains a brief description to aid 
the person using them. There is no expense except that ofexpressage, 
but the date of the meeting must be given when application is 
made, and the slides should be returned immediately after they 
have been used. This arrangement is necessary in order that we 
may keep faith with those to whom slides have been promised. 

In order to facilitate the use of slides for local meetings, we 
have arranged special sets for use with prepared lectures which 
are sent with the slides on request. These lectures cover the sub- 
jects of Wider Use of the School Plant, School Athletics, and Holi- 
day Celebrations. A charge of $3.00 is made for the use of these 
"traveling lectures" with slides, in addition to express charges. 

In order to have our slides perform a greater service we shall 
be glad to duplicate any of them at cost for any organization 
or individual desiring them for their own permanent use. Our 
manufacturer quotes us these prices: 20 cents for a slide made 
from a negative, 40 cents for a slide made from a photograph or 
another slide. The star (*) opposite a slide number indicates 
that we have the negative of that slide. The only additional cost 
will be that of transportation. 

Our shipping cases hold fifty slides. Experience has demon- 



II 

strated that fifty slides are ample for a single lecture and that in 
many cases better results may be obtained from using even fewer. 
When sending for slides, please indicate the letter and the num- 
ber of each slide desired, e. g. 

B. 2, 3, 27, 33. 

C. 48, 90, 92, 93, 94, no.
